Roly Poly Sandwiches

My friend Scott and I decided to stop here on our way to some Uptown parades.

I had never been here before, so I was excited to try it. The first thing that impressed me was the fantastic selection of different sandwiches and wraps. They have everything from chicken to tuna to vegetarian options. They also have salads.

I'm not sure what Scott ordered, but he decided to go with a "small" (6 inch) pressed sandwich. I decided on a "small" chicken caesar wrap. I really liked mine, and Scott and I both agreed that it was a good snack.

If I were to go back, I would definitely get a "large", because the small is good for a little munch, but if you are looking for an actual meal, then you are going to want a little bit more.

It's a good healthy option, if you are in the mood for a sandwich that isn't a po boy.

Yummilicious! Better than I remember.

I got half of the buffalo chicken slim (bc feta goes better with buff sauce than cheddar) and a cup of potato soup. The soup was just okay. The wrap was tasty!!! I'm very content with our lunch choice today. :)

Just a few blocks from home and fairly inexpensive, this will most likely become our go-to.

DELICIOUS.
I stopped here during Mardi Gras to get a bite to eat before the chaos started. It was a delicious success-this was after I initally went to McCalisters across the street (b/c I saw it first), stood in line behind 3 people for 5 minutes and decided to leave b/c the service was so slow. As I walked out, I noticed that the line behind me was about 5 people deep!
I'm glad that I decided to go to Roly Poly Sandwiches after my sad McCalister's experience just moments before. The service was QUICK the food was GREAT (try the California Hummer-wow) and it was less expensive than I expected. I will certainly be back!!!

Slow service, slow delivery, faulty phone ordering. An hour to get two sandwiches?

And since it was supposed to be hot, and it wasn't, it was lame. just a mushy wrap, with no distinct flavors.

Man, this is hard to write. I love roly poly. Yes, it's a chain. However, I can find veggie wraps/salads that are delicious. Their site even has a nifty chart showing which dressings/wraps have gluten/eggs/allergens, which is helpful when selecting a vegan/vegetarian meal.

I also LOVE the hand drawn pictures that one of the managers proudly displays. Wraps doing all sorts of different things. One yesterday was a wrap stating proudly "I AM NOT A PITA!"

Why isn't this 5 stars? Well, the quality is pretty inconsistent. Our food was a mess and flavorless yesterday, but other times it's awesome. The prices are a bit high, although I give them props for lowering the prices for veggie sandwiches.

I always like to eat here when I am in a hurry and uptown, but I don't go out of my way to do so. It fills me up, but it's not a craving.

Ok, if I didn't live within walking distance, I probably wouldn't eat hear as often as I do. I usually walk here every 2 weeks or so on a weekend, when I can't think of anywhere else to go. That being said, I always enjoy what I order, which is limited. I'm not a big meat eater, recently committed to being pescatarian. They do have great fish and vegetarian choices. I love their shrimp and corn bisque and the thai tuna wrap.
I've always been happy with their service. Very friendly and adequately timely.

I hope that the Gods of New Orleans don't smite me for yet again going to a CHAIN restaurant for my lunch, BUT I had a good feeling about this place.

I was tipped off by someone I met while substituting in the area, but that time I went across the street to McAlister's(which if you go there instead of here like one reviewer said--do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars and go straight to jail; see my review of McAlister's). Anyways, my interest was piqued by it because it looks like a small shiny tin shack on the corner. I didn't feel like stopping in at a busy magazine street restaurant so I hopped over here for lunch to-go.

There's outdoor seating as well as indoor. The inside is more spacious than I thought, and also a lot nicer and different than what I thought it would be. Walking in it became clear to me very quickly that this was another chain. Overall, it's nice, but not too nice (i.e. the marble tabletops at McAlister's). I'll say new but unpretentious.

The menu is the main attraction, sporting all kinds of wraps, hot-pressed and regular cold ones, as well as soups and other standard stuff. It's almost like the smoothie king of wrap places in that there are so many interesting combinations broken into chicken, turkey, and beef with lots of vegetarian options in between.

I got the Basil Cashew Chicken wrap. It was pretty good. I love cashews, basil, and hot sauces and the chicken was tender and the occasional smear of avocado was nice as well. The wrap cost almost $7, but was larger than I envisioned, coming to about a foot in length and 2 inches in diameter.

The service and turnaround from the time I ordered until the time I got my sandwich was quick at about five minutes. Everyone else there seemed to be getting quick service as well, so I'm not exactly sure what the other reviewers experienced. Then again, it was 1pm on a Wednesday.

I won't be back here every day of the week to try every sandwich, but I do see some things on the menu I would like to try and could see myself grabbing a wrap to-go from time to time if I'm in the area.

Sometimes I want a delicious, crispy, authentic, locally sourced, dressed po boy.

Other times I want something quick & healthy. Those times I turn to Roly Poly. Yes - its a chain. So what? Its good!

I've ordered probably 12 different wraps over several years and I think I've enjoyed all of them. Some are better than others - generally the low-cal ones aren't as good. Go figure!

Roly Poly is always hit or miss for me. It's convenient, so I go there when I'm out running errands and just want something fast. Sometimes it is so good, but more than once it has been much less than that. I'll usually give a place a couple chances, people make mistakes.

Last time I went the staff were all hanging out in the back, leaving me and another customer waiting well over ten minutes for our small orders. Because they just weren't doing anything. I finally got my food, and went home. I ordered the chicken fajita because it's usually packed with veggies. This time it was just a few pieces of chicken. Nothing else. I understand leaving out one ingredient or forgetting sauce, but forgetting everything? I want people to have fun at work, and I'm kind of jealous of how much fun they're having that they can completely space out.

love this place, its a nice change of pace for the average new orleanian... NOT only that, but the ideas behind the wraps, are varied with many surprizes... I always have a hard time deciding, and always try something new... Just wish they were in my neighborhood...

I found this by accident, and whenever this far up town? I stop by for lunch... the soups are good too... service friendly, and a very busy place... Love it... healthy, and filling.
